Whether busting down a dirt path or tackling singletrack, the Hardrock delivers versatility and value. The knobby tires make quick work of rough terrain, and with disc brakes and durable suspension fork trail chatter is no obstacle. Combining practicality and performance, the Hardrock features a triple chainring setup and integrated rack and fender mounts for equipment compatibility.

WHAT Frames made of corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing, utilizing ORE (Optimized Radius Engineering) on the downtube.

WHY Creates the best balance of light weight, strength, durability, and value.

HOW By controlling everything from the raw material to the extrusion, swaging, and heat treatment of the tubes, we can optimize our Hardrock bikes for the given ride experience. ORE, specifically, increases weld surface areas at headtube junctions for greater strength, while shaving weight.

WHY Better control and precise handling for a more responsive and comfortable ride off-road and on.

HOW Combining a lightweight fork material with stiff, oversized stanchions and 80mm of smooth travel keeps the front wheel on the ground and tracking straight over rough terrain. Preload allows riders to achieve proper sag according to their specific weight and desired ride feel.

HOW By using a different extrusion process, a second wall is added to the rim, which increases stiffness and strength with little weight penalty. Our alloy cassette hubs dramatically increase stiffness and strength at the point of power transfer, while increasing durability.
